You know if the Germans are too foolish to study the roots of someone before voting them in they are asking for disaster. How incredibly sad this is to see what was once the greatest country in the world at one point come to this.

Re: ==> Angela Merkel's Jewish Roots Confirmed <==

Quote:

I'm not confirmed only but this short clip. Did she continue speaking Hebrew or German? If she continues speaking in German, that would mean that she thanked in Hebrew for being able to speak German. This is also what the newspaper article implies.

that merkel is a supporter of the Jews and of the jews state of Israel is undeniable.

But people like COLDSTAR really out to do some research before coming out with bold statements that may well leave them looking a little foolish in retrospect

Merkels speech to the knesset being a case in point.

I have the complete text of her speech at the knesset and will post a link to it below.

What is significant about merkels speech is that in fact she is NOT fluent in herbrew at all. The introduction to her speech is in hebrew and read out as awkwardly as to be expected by someone not fluent in said language.

In the introduction Merkel thanks the jews at the Knesset for allowing her to speak in her mother tounge at the knesset. After expressing her thanks to the knesset, merkel then reverts to her mother tongue for the rest of the speech: ie she gives the rest of her speech in German.

Lets put this in context: merkel was the first german chancellor to ever speak at the knesset. Merkel was the first to ever address the knesset in German. It was controversial even for the jews.

As it is most unusual to be allowed to speak german in the knesset merkel expressed her gratitude in herbrew at the start then carried in with German, her mother tongue.

Ok here in the intro to Merkels speech at the knesset where we can all see what context she is talking in when merkel mentions her mother tongue. She is not referring to anything other than being allowed to talk in german:

so can someone please explain all this to coldstar for they have me on 'ignore"

coldstar: next time do some research

Very well explained, and I understood it right away even before your superb post.
In a more simple way I pointed it out to Coldstar same understanding of the said speech.
She wrote I make her laugh and who I was.
Like I had to be somebody evil for not agreeing with her theory.
So disappointing.
